Suggested Revision
This should include identifying and adding more green space in Kalispell.

Comment
The city should ask the question of how much do we want Kalispell to keep growing? It has already become a place with a lot of congestion from increased traffic and quiet neighborhoods such as the historic district are used to travel from one part of the city to another. Neighborhood traffic, typically slower is being pushed aside by people speeding and or driving inappropriately through a largely pedestrian neighborhood.

I would hate to see Kalispell get bigger simply because government doesn't want to facilitate that discussion and discuss limits on growth. I would much prefer seeing a solution to the housing crisis that doesn't include building more units, but making existing units and current development offer a range of affordability. Catering to growth will only result in more long time residents getting pushed away from. this community because they can no longer afford to live here. We need to find some middle ground rather than just accommodating more and more people.

The natural resources that support this community (air, water, land) are not limitless. How much of our natural resources will be required to support the growth increases and is this projected level of growth sustainable. Kalispell's water supply is not limitless.

Comment
This should include the public and assure opportunities for public comment.

Question
Are these sensitive resource areas identified somewhere? If so, the document should include a citation or where someone can go to find these areas. If they are already identified somewhere it should be noted that new areas can be added due to new information.

Question
It isn't clear what this statement is referring to? Incompatible uses like gravel pits next to residential areas, or ????

Comment
I would recommend for multi-family properties that a reasonably sized, fenced common area for pets may be necessary. I think it would be important to maintain the feel of a closely bonded community within that space through aesthetic touches. Just stacking families on top of each other isn't going to feel great unless we give those families a reason to enjoy that space.

Comment
in addition to bicycle and pedestrian traffic, creating more green space (parks, hiking/biking single track) instead of urban development on every parcel.

MS Davis May 18 2025 at 11:15AM on page 8

Comment
From a practical, Montana-oriented viewpoint, we are vehicle dependent, shaped by seasonal weather, and probably rate highly in number of pets per person. This means that housing with a dedicated yard (even if small), parking for two vehicles, and at least an oversized one vehicle garage will meet demand. Snow removal and public street maintenance must figure into planning.
